Wishing you a Blessed Easter and Passover

Thursday, April 14, 2022

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Last Sunday, many celebrated The Triumphal Entry (also known as Palm Sunday), the day Christ rode into the City of Jerusalem presenting himself as Messiah. It’s known Christ entered Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives so it’s nearly certain Christ entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate. I took the picture seen below of the Eastern Gate (indicated by the arrow) in 2010 while I was standing on the Mount of Olives looking west across the Kidron Valley at the eastern wall of Jerusalem. The edge of the Garden of Gethsemane can be seen near the extreme lower right corner of the picture.

Many will be celebrating Good Friday tomorrow and Passover begins tomorrow evening at sundown lasting until sundown of Saturday April 23 in which many will celebrate the remembrance of the Lord liberating the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.

This coming Sunday many will celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the dead overcoming the grave.

I wish you, your family, and loved ones blessed Good Friday, Passover, and Resurrection Day celebrations!

The Legislature is in recess until Tuesday April 19 in recognition of these important holidays. When we return, I look forward to continuing the fight for truth and preserving the future of our great Republic!
